Fundamental Distinction

‘People who don’t exist; at least not yet’ discusses the non-identity problem by considering the analogy between the rules governing assisted reproduction and those governing adoption. It looks at the issues involved with comparing existence with non-existence, which considers the best interests of a child that is yet to be born, and then outlines the fundamental distinction between identity-preserving and identity-affecting actions. Three examples of the non-identity problem in which the actions are identity-affecting are discussed: preimplantation genetic testing, delaying pregnancy, and treating acne. It concludes that it is almost always wrong for doctors, or society generally, to refuse reproductive assistance on grounds of the welfare of the potential child.

While state childcare law opportunities have evolved significantly as family structures, genetic testing, and assisted reproduction techniques have changed, the laws on parental and nonparental child support have not changed much. This Article explores actual and potential child support laws arising from the new childcare laws for both parents and nonparents.

The Impact

Abstract Two leading European professional societies, the European Society of Human Genetics and the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology, have worked together since 2004 to evaluate the impact of fast research advances at the interface of assisted reproduction and genetics, including their application into clinical practice. In September 2016, the expert panel met for the third time. The topics discussed highlighted important issues covering the impacts of expanded carrier screening, direct-to-consumer genetic testing, voiding of the presumed anonymity of gamete donors by advanced genetic testing, advances in the research of genetic causes underlying male and female infertility, utilisation of massively-parallel sequencing in preimplantation genetic testing and non-invasive prenatal screening, mitochondrial replacement in human oocytes, and additionally, issues related to cross-generational epigenetic inheritance following IVF and germline genome editing. The resulting paper represents a consensus of both professional societies involved.

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is widely adopted to select embryos with normal ploidy but requires invasive embryo biopsy procedures. Therefore, non-invasive PGT (niPGT) detection of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in blastocyst culture medium has gradually become a hot area in the field of assisted reproduction. This chapter will systematically summarize how researchers use embryonic cfDNA to conduct niPGT detection worldwide. It will also thoroughly review the factors that affect the accuracy of the test and its underlying issues, as well as prospective applications. We hope to provide a useful reference for the standardized operation of non-invasive PGT that can be widely applied in clinical practice.
